Abstract
Description
- The present invention relates to a vibration-proof rubber composition and vibration-proof rubber using the same, and specifically relates to a vibration-proof rubber composition used for vehicle suspension parts and the like and to vibration-proof rubber using the composition.
- Vibration-proof rubber has been widely used in various fields in which the vibration-proof rubber is interposed between two members constituting a vibration transmission system to establish vibration-proof connection between the two members, and, for example, in the automobile field, the vibration-proof rubber has been used as an engine mount, a body mount, a member mount, a suspension bush, and the like.
- As a vibration-proof rubber composition used for the vibration-proof rubber, in general, a composition containing diene rubber, silica small particles, and a silane coupling agent has been used (Japanese Unexamined Patent Application Publication No. 11-255964). However, kneading of the silica small particles and the silane coupling agent with rubber increases the viscosity in an unvulcanized state due to re-aggregation of silica, thereby degrading compression set and storage stability.
- Therefore, in order to improve this degradation, pre-treated silica prepared by surface-treating silica with a silane coupling agent has recently been used. Examples proposed as a rubber composition using the pre-treated silica include a rubber composition for an engine mount containing at least one type of diene rubber as a main rubber component and silica fine particles which are previously surface-treated with a silane coupling agent and which have a BET specific surface area of 40 to 170 m2/g (Japanese Unexamined Patent Application Publication No. 11-193338), a rubber composition containing 100 parts by weight of a rubber component containing at least one type of diene rubber, 20 to 120 parts by weight of silica pre-treated with 2 to 15% by weight of a silane coupling agent, and 2 to 10% by weight of alkoxysilane of silica before being pre-treated (Japanese Unexamined Patent Application Publication No. 2002-3652), and the like.
- However, the use of pre-treated silica as described in Japanese Unexamined Patent Application Publication No. 11-193338 and Japanese Unexamined Patent Application Publication No. 2002-3652 has the problem of producing variation in physical properties of the pre-treated silica because of unstable reaction (chemical bonding) between the silica and the silane coupling agent. Therefore, vibration-proof rubber compositions using the pre-treated silica are poor in durability, compression set characteristic, etc.
- A vibration-proof rubber composition is provided which is excellent in both characteristics of durability and compression set, and provide vibration-proof rubber using the composition.
- A first feature lies in a vibration-proof rubber composition containing components (A) to (C) below, wherein an amount of reacted silane coupling agent in the component (B) is 6.5% by weight or more, and an amount of unreacted silane coupling agent is in a range of 0.5 to 2.5% by weight:
- (A) diene rubber;
- (B) pre-treated silica prepared by surface-treating, with a silane coupling agent, silica having a BET specific surface area in a range of 180 to 230 m2/g; and
- (C) sulfur.
- A second feature lies in vibration-proof rubber using the vibration-proof rubber composition.
- It is technical common knowledge about conventional pre-treated silica that an unreacted silane coupling agent after surface treatment is considered to adversely affect the characteristics of rubber, and thus from the viewpoint of safety etc., the unreacted silane coupling agent not bonded to silica is removed by a washing work with alcohol, acetone, or the like after the surface treatment. Contrary to the technical common knowledge, when pre-treated silica containing an unreacted silane coupling agent intentionally left without washing with alcohol or the like after surface treatment is used, the durability of vibration-proof rubber is improved. That is, when the amount of the reacted silane coupling agent is set to 6.5% by weight or more, durability is improved, and when the amount of the unreacted silane coupling agent is set in a range of 0.5 to 2.5% by weight, durability is further improved, and compression set characteristic can also be satisfied.
- The term “reacted amount” refers to the amount (% by weight) of the silane coupling agent chemically bonded to silica by surface treatment, and the term “unreacted amount” refers to the amount (% by weight) of the silane coupling agent not chemically bonded to silica.
- The reacted amount and the unreacted amount can be measured by, for example, a differential thermal analyzer (TG-DTA).
- As described above, the vibration-proof rubber composition contains the diene rubber, the pre-treated silica prepared by surface-treating silica having a BET specific surface area in the range of 180 to 230 m2/g with the silane coupling agent, and sulfur. In addition, durability is improved by setting the amount of the reacted silane coupling agent in the pre-treated silica to 6.5% by weight or more, and compression set characteristic can also be satisfied by setting the amount of the unreacted silane coupling agent in the range of 0.5 to 2.5% by weight. Since the pre-treated silica is used, re-aggregation of silica can be suppressed, and deterioration in storage stability due to an increase in viscosity of unvulcanized rubber can be improved. Further, since silica used as the pre-treated silica is small-size silica having a BET specific surface area in the range of 180 to 230 m2/g, workability is also improved.
- In addition, when the amount of the pre-treated silica mixed as the component (B) is in the range of 20 to 60 parts by weight relative to 100 parts by weight of the diene rubber as the component (A), a balance between durability and compression set characteristic is improved.
- When the amount of the silane coupling agent charged is in the range of 8 to 18% by weight relative to 100% by weight of silica before surface treatment, a balance between durability and compression set characteristic is improved.
- When the pre-treated silica as the component (B) is not washed, a conventional washing step with an alcohol or the like after surface treatment can be omitted, thereby resulting in reduction in cost.
- When the amount of sulfur mixed as the component (C) is 1.5 parts by weight or more relative to 100 parts by weight of the diene rubber as the component (A), use for application which requires not so high heat resistance (e.g., a vehicle suspension part and the like) can be realized.
- An embodiment of the present invention is described in detail below. However, the present invention is not limited to this embodiment.
- A vibration-proof rubber composition can be produced using diene rubber (component A), specific pre-treated silica (component B), and sulfur (component C).
- The amount of the reacted silane coupling agent in the specific pre-treated silica (component B) is set to 6.5% by weight or more, and the amount of the unreacted silane coupling agent is set in the range of 0.5 to 2.5% by weight (hereinafter may be simply abbreviated as “%”).
- Examples of the diene rubber (component A) include natural rubber (NR), isoprene rubber (IR), butadiene rubber (BR), styrene-butadiene rubber (SBR), acrylonitrile-butadiene rubber (NBR), butyl rubber (IIR), and the like. These may be used alone or in combination or two or more. Among these, the natural rubber is preferred in view of durability.
- The specific pre-treated silica (component B) is prepared by surface-treating, with a silane coupling agent (surface treatment agent), silica having a BET specific surface area in the range of 180 to 230 m2/g.
- The BET specific surface area of silica before the surface treatment is in the range of 180 to 230 m2/g. This is because with an excessively small BET specific surface area, durability is worsened due to an excessively large particle diameter, while, conversely, with an excessively large BET specific surface area, dispersion in the diene rubber (component A) becomes difficult due to an excessively small particle diameter, thereby degrading workability. The BET specific surface area can be measured, for example, according to ISO 5794/1.
- As the silica, for example, crystalline silica, amorphous silica, and the like can be used. In addition, the silica used preferably has an average particle diameter (secondary particle diameter) in the range of 5 to 30 μm. The average particle diameter of the silica can be measured by, for example, using a laser diffraction scattering particle size distribution analyzer.
- As described above, in the specific pre-treated silica (component B), the amount of the reacted silane coupling agent is set to 6.5% or more, and the amount of the unreacted silane coupling agent is set in the range of 0.5 to 2.5%.
- The reacted amount and the unreacted amount can be measured, for example, using a differential thermal analyzer (TG-DTA). A thermogravimetric analyzer (TG) is an apparatus which continuously detects and records weight changes produced by changing the temperature of a sample, and a differential thermal analyzer (DTA) is an apparatus which measures a temperature difference between a sample and a reference material as a temperature function so that a weight change can be measured by using TG and DTA in combination.
- A method for calculating the reacted amount is specifically described. First, the weight of each of the silica component and the silane coupling agent is calculated based on measurement of the pre-treated silica (component B) with the differential thermal analyzer (TG-DTA). Next, the unreacted silane coupling agent in the pre-treated silica (component B) is washed out with alcohol or acetone and then subjected to measurement with the differential thermal analyzer (TG-DTA). Then, the reacted amount is calculated from a weight difference of the silane coupling agent before and after washing.
- The reacted amount in the specific pre-treated silica (component B) is 6.5% or more and preferably 7.5% or more. This is because an excessively small reacted amount causes deterioration in durability.
- The unreacted amount in the specific pre-treated silica (component B) is set in the range of 0.5 to 2.5% and preferably in the range of 0.8 to 1.5%. This is because an excessively small unreacted amount causes deterioration in durability, and conversely an excessively large unreacted amount causes deterioration in compression set characteristic.
- The total of the reacted amount and the unreacted amount is preferably in the range of 7.8 to 10.0%.
- In addition, the ratio by weight of the reacted amount to the unreacted amount is preferably in the range of reacted amount/unreacted amount=5/1 to 10/1.
- The specific pre-treated silica (component B) can be prepared by adjusting the amount of the silane coupling agent (surface treatment agent) charged, the reaction time, the reaction temperature etc.
- The specific pre-treated silica (component B) can be prepared, for example, as follows. Silica having a BET specific surface area in the range of 180 to 230 m2/g is mixed with a predetermined amount of the silane coupling agent.
- More specifically, the amount of the silane coupling agent charged is preferably in the range of 8 to 18% and particularly preferably in the range of 11 to 15% relative to 100% of silica before surface treatment.
- Examples of the silane coupling agent include bis(3-triethoxysilylpropyl)tetrasulfane, thiocyanatopropyl triethoxysilane, γ-mercaptopropyl trimethoxysilane, and the like. These may be used alone or in combination of two or more.
- In an application which requires high heat resistance (for example, an engine mount and the like), the silane coupling agent containing few sulfur (S) atoms (for example, 0 or 1 S atom) in its molecule is used, while in an application which requires not so high heat resistance (for example, a vehicle suspension part and the like), the silane coupling agent containing many sulfur (S) atoms (for example, 2 or more S atoms) in its molecule can be used.
- The amount of sulfur (S) atoms in the pre-treated silica (component B) surface-treated with the silane coupling agent can be determined by, for example, elemental analysis of the surfaces of the silica using TEM-EELS including a transmission electron microscope (TEM) in combination with electron energy loss spectroscopy (EELS).
- As the conditions of the surface treatment, the temperature is preferably in the range of 80° C. to 120° C. and particularly preferably in the range of 100° C. to 120° C., and the reaction time is preferably in the range of 15 to 60 minutes and particularly preferably in the range of 15 to 30 minutes.
- The amount of the thus-produced specific pre-treated silica (component B) mixed is preferably in the range of 20 to 60 parts and particularly preferably in the range of 25 to 45 parts relative to 100 parts by weight (hereinafter abbreviated as “parts”) of the diene rubber. This is because with an excessively small amount of the component B mixed, durability is degraded due to insufficient reinforcement, and conversely, with an excessively large amount of the component B mixed, workability is degraded due to an increase in viscosity of unvulcanized rubber.
- The amount of the sulfur (component C) mixed depends on the presence of heat resistance in the vibration-proof rubber composition. For example, in an application which requires not so high heat resistance (for example, a vehicle suspension part and the like), the amount of the sulfur (component C) mixed is preferably in the range of 1.5 parts or more, particularly preferably in the range of 1.5 to 4.0 parts, and most preferably in the range of 2.0 to 3.0 parts relative to 100 parts of the diene rubber.
- On the other hand, in an application which requires high heat resistance (for example, an engine mount and the like), the amount of the sulfur (component C) mixed is preferably in the range of less than 1.5 parts, particularly preferably in the range of 1.0 part or less, and most preferably in the range of 0.7 parts or less relative to 100 parts of the diene rubber.
- Besides the above-described components A to C, if required, the vibration-proof rubber composition may be appropriately mixed with a vulcanization accelerator, a vulcanization aid, an age resister, process oil, carbon black, a processing aid, etc. These can be used alone or in combination of two or more.
- Examples of the vulcanization accelerator include thiazole, sulfenamide, thiuram, aldehydeammonia, aldehydeamine, guanidine, and thiourea vulcanization accelerators, and the like. These can be used alone or in combination of two or more. Among these, the sulfenamide vulcanization accelerators are preferred from the viewpoint of excellent vulcanization reactivity.
- The amount of the vulcanization accelerator mixed is preferably in the range of 0.1 to 10 parts and particularly preferably in the range of 0.5 to 3 parts relative to 100 parts of the diene rubber (component A).
- Examples of the thiazole vulcanization accelerators include dibenzothiazyl disulfide (MBTS), 2-mercaptobenzothiazole (MBT), 2-mercaptobenzothiazole sodium salt (NaMBT), 2-mercaptobenzothiazole zinc salt (ZnMBT), and the like. These can be used alone or in combination of two or more. Among these, dibenzothiazyl disulfide (MBTS) and 2-mercaptobenzothiazole (MBT) are preferred from the viewpoint of excellent vulcanization reactivity.
- Examples of the sulfenamide vulcanization accelerators include N-oxydiethylene-2-benzothiazolyl sulfenamide (NOBS), N-cyclohexyl-2-benzothiazolyl sulfenamide (CBS), N-tert-butyl-2-benzothiazoyl sulfenamide (BBS), N,N′-dicyclohexyl-2-benzothiazoyl sulfenamide, and the like. These can be used alone or in combination of two or more.
- Examples of the thiuram vulcanization accelerators include tetramethylthiuram disulfide (TMTD), tetraethylthiuram disulfide (TETD), tetrabutylthiuram disulfide (TBTD), tetrakis(2-ethylhexyl)thiuram disulfide (TOT), tetrabenzylthiuram disulfide (TBzTD), and the like. These can be used alone or in combination of two or more.
- Examples of the vulcanization aid include zinc oxide (ZnO), stearic acid, magnesium oxide, and the like. These can be used alone or in combination of two or more.
- The amount of the vulcanization aid mixed is preferably in the range of 1 to 25 parts and particularly preferably in the range of 3 to 10 parts relative to 100 parts of the diene rubber (component A).
- Examples of the age resister include carbamate age resisters, phenylenediamine age resisters, phenol age resisters, diphenylamine age resisters, quinoline age resisters, imidazole age resisters, waxes, and the like. These can be used alone or in combination of two or more.
- The amount of the age resister mixed is preferably in the range of 1 to 10 parts and particularly preferably in the range of 2 to 5 parts relative to 100 parts of the diene rubber (component A).
- Examples of the process oil include naphthenic oil, paraffin oil, aromatic oil, and the like. These can be used alone or in combination of two or more.
- The amount of the process oil mixed is preferably in the range of 1 to 50 parts and particularly preferably in the range of 3 to 30 parts relative to 100 parts of the diene rubber (component A).
- Examples of the carbon black include various grades of carbon black such as SAF grade, ISAF grade, HAF grade, MAF grade, FEF grade, GPF grade, SRF grade, FT grade, MT grade, and the like. These can be used alone or in combination of two or more.
- The amount of the carbon black mixed is preferably in the range of 1 to 80 parts and particularly preferably in the range of 1 to 30 parts relative to 100 parts of the diene rubber in view of kneadability.
- Examples of the processing aid include those based on fatty acids, fatty acid metal salts, fatty acid esters, and the like. These can be used alone or in combination of two or more.
- The amount of the processing aid mixed is preferably in the range of 0.5 to 10 parts and particularly preferably in the range of 1 to 5 parts relative to 100 parts of the diene rubber (component A).
- The vibration-proof rubber composition can be prepared, for example, as follows. The diene rubber (component A) and the specific pre-treated silica (component B), and if required, the vulcanization aid, the age resister, the process oil, etc. are appropriately mixed, and the resultant mixture is kneaded with a Banbury mixer at a temperature of about 50° C. at the start and at 100 to 160° C. for about 3 to 5 minutes. The mixture is then mixed with sulfur (component C), the vulcanization accelerator, etc. and then kneaded with an open roll under predetermined conditions (for example, 50° C.×4 minutes) to prepare the vibration-proof rubber composition. Then, the resultant vibration-proof rubber composition can be vulcanized at a high temperature (150 to 170° C.) for 5 to 30 minutes to produce vibration-proof rubber.
- The vibration-proof rubber composition generally has the following vulcanizate properties.
- The vibration-proof rubber composition is pressed, vulcanized, and molded at 160° C. for 30 minutes to form a test piece. Then, according to JIS J6262, a compression set (%) of the test piece is measured after the test piece is 25% compressed at 85° C. for 72 hours.
- The compression set is preferably 45% or less and particularly preferably 40% or less.

The results are also shown in Tables 1 and 2.
- Each of the rubber compositions was pressed, vulcanized, and molded at 160° C. for 30 minutes to form a test piece. Then, according to JIS K6262, a compression set (%) of the test piece was measured after the test piece was 25% compressed at 85° C. for 72 hours.

- According to the results shown in Tables 1 and 2, the products of the examples use the pre-treated silica in which the reacted amount and unreacted amount are adjusted in the respective specified ranges, and thus both the durability and compression set can be satisfied.
- In contrast, the product of Comparative Example 1 uses the pre-treated silica a having an excessively small unreacted amount and thus has poor durability.
- The product of Comparative Example 2 uses the pre-treated silica b having an excessively small reacted amount and thus has poor durability.
- The product of Comparative Example 3 uses the pre-treated silica c having an excessively large unreacted amount and thus has a poor compression set characteristic.
- The product of Comparative Example 4 simply uses the silane coupling agent and silica which is usual silica not pre-treated with the silane coupling agent, and thus has a poor compression set characteristic.
- Although, in the above-described examples, specific modes of the present invention are described, the examples are only exemplary and are not limitedly interpreted. In addition, the scope of the present invention includes all modifications within a scope equivalent to the claims.
- A vibration-proof rubber composition can be used in application (for example, vehicle suspension parts, a side-engine mount, a member mount, etc.) which requires not so high heat resistance, and other applications (for example, an engine mount, a torque rod, etc.) which require high heat resistance.
